Sorry you’re wrong. Schumacher was within 5 seconds of the FASTEST time during a 4 hour test with Ducati at Valencia in 2007. Not too shabby. http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/formula-1-news/173331/schumacher-enjoys-motogp-test/

lets see how quick these f1 drivers would go on rossi moto gp bike at this track that rossi tested the f1 car on last week, i bet they would not get within 20 seconds of rossi times set on his moto gp bike 7 years ago let alone last year and yet he can get straight into a f1 car and set fastest lap times, rossi is on a different planet .hail rossi

Those who slam Rossi as not being 4 wheel material or that he’s slow are idiots. His F1 tests have consistently been decent, and exceptional for someone with so little experience, and his WRC performances are legendary as well for a beginner. Those who diminish Rossi’s talent do so at their peril..

Dorna Sports is robbing fans of the privilege of seeing Velntino Rossi in action. They and their “copyright claims”, huh

I’m surprised Ferrari is surprised at NYtimes’ coverage. The latter has had a rather decent F1 blog for quite some time — I started reading it on and off in ’09.

Not quite at the same level as Britain’s The Times (with Ed Gorman), but still very decent.

And answering Ferrari, here’s what NYtimes had to say at the end of Rossi’s test:

You’d understand how Valentino could get his lap time close to the lap time of 2008. For one he is using slick tyres for the F2008. Where Massa and Kimi in 2008 used grooved tyres. F2008 also has more downforce compared to the F60 (2009) so he would really get his lap time to match the lap time of the 2009 season.

Damn, the cars look ugly compared to last year’s.

Looks like he was quick, too: Rossi beats 2009 fastest lap at Barcelona
